Stormy times or sunny prospects? Talent management is affected by changes and trends – just like the general economic situation. Profil M regularly cooperates with Prof. Dr. Klaus P. Stulle of Fresenius University to analyse the “Talent Climate Index”. This allows us to provide you with regular information about developments in internal and external labour markets, as well as the key trends in talent management in organisations that operate on an international scale. What are the current and future tendencies regarding the options for acquiring talent internally or externally? How well prepared are organisations to utilise these developments effectively? How do managers and HR experts assess the extent of the stakeholders’ commitment? The Talent Management Index uses five key questions as the basis for a pertinent analysis of the current situation and trend forecasts in talent management. The survey focuses on a representative selection of companies and is carried out at regular intervals.

THE CURRENT TALENT CLIMATE

Results for the first half of 2018

Talent climate trend continues to be clearly negative:

Despite the already critical starting point in 2016, it is becoming increasingly difficult to attract talents. The negative forecasts of those surveyed became reality and continue to be less than optimistic.

At the same time declining commitment with regard to talent management:

Talent management commitment is declining for all groups of persons responsible, although they are aware of the critical situation. There is concern that in some companies resignation is already spreading.

External talent management measures are not focused on effectiveness:

Measures such as job advertisements are most popular although they are not more effective than other measures. Particularly effective measures such as active sourcing are still barely used.
